Politics : Scheme to kidnap and murder Biden and Harris busted by Secret Service

A SCHEME to allegedly kidnap and execute Joe Biden and Kamala Harris was busted by Secret Service and the "would-be killer" was arrested.

A criminal complaint was filed by the Secret Service on Wednesday about the man, who was identified as James Dale Reed.

According to the document, obtained by the New York Times, Reed approached a house in his hometown on October 4 that had Biden-Harris campaign signs in the front yard.

Reed allegedly left a handwritten note containing graphic threats against the Democratic candidates and their supporters.

He was also caught on a Ring door camera delivering the note.

Someone who knew the man saw the footage and confirmed it was him.

The letter had "WARNING!!!" in large red letters at the top, before going on to alert the reader that they will be "targeted" if they support the duo.

"We have a list of homes and addresses by your election signs. We are the ones with those scary guns, We are the ones your children have nightmares about," the threat continues.

The graphic letter goes on to detail the sodomizing of Harris and the beating of "Grandpa Biden" before executing them on national television.

While being interviewed at his home on October 13, Reed denied that he left the letter.

However, two days later, he admitted to the act and was arrested.

If he is convicted, Reed will face a maximum of five years in jail.

Reed has previously been known to the Secret Service for making a threatening statement against a person under its protection in 2014.

United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Robert K. Hur said: "We take these types of threats extremely seriously. Such threats to commit violence are illegal and have no place in our democracy, and we will hold accountable those who make them.

"We are grateful for the assistance of the City of Frederick Police Department and to citizens who provided tips that ultimately led to Mr. Reed’s arrest and these federal charges."
